Comparative analysis of the expression of the WOXand PINgenes in ovules and in the course of somatic embryogenesis of Medicago truncatula Gaertn was performed. It was shown that some WOX and PIN genes that had an increased expression level in ovules (MtWOX11-like, STENOFOLIA, MTR_2g015000, and MtPIN10) were also activated in the course of somatic embryogenesis. At the same time, the WOX and PIN genes, the expression level of which was low in ovules, did not show transcription activation associated with somatic embryogenesis. These data allow the assumption that the same regulatory mechanisms can be involved in the control of the early stages of somatic and zygotic embryogenesis.
